The property's in a good location, but we had a really bad experience and would never consider staying here again.
1. The property was not as advertised.
The property is advertised as "Lovely Apartment with Spectacular Views". There's a small note in the details about the property saying "scaffolding ... may impact the view".
This is totally misleading -- the property managers know for sure that the scaffolding *will* *block* the view.
The listing doesn't mention that plastic sheeting over the view windows makes things even worse, and keeps the windows from opening.
The managers wrote us to say the scaffolding would be down during our stay. It wasn't.
Also, the managers brushed off our complaint about the blocked view.
2. The property's not in good condition.
There's a stain on the sofa and the floor in the bathroom is cracked and peeling away from the shower.
Some of the furniture is also in poor condition.
3. The property managers broke their promise about bag storage.
They told us we'd be able to drop off our bags on the day we arrived until check-in time, but the day before we arrived they told us to use Stasher.
4. Instructions for finding the property and getting the key were poor.
We wasted time trying to find the property, because the entrance is on a pedestrian only path. Apple Maps took us to the wrong location.
The problem with this property was that the "Spectacular Views" were obliterated by scaffolding so dense it blocked out most of the light so there were dense mesh screens on the outside of very dense scaffolding where the views of the harbour as shown in the pictures should have been. I explained to the apartment manager that the wording posted on their advertisement that there was scaffolding that "MAY impact the view" was misleading and that for it not to be misleading they should say "views ARE significantly impacted". Had they said that I would have been OK as it would have set my expectations. The response I got was less than satisfactory. "Try to relax and enjoy your day!" Again, an apology would have changed my review.
Perfect little unit with the best view Sydney could offer!
The apartment was located with the best view Sydney has to offer, and the location was very convenient, easy access to ferry and only short ride to city.
